What Is 4 inch Gate Valve？
A 4-inch Gate Valve is a type of industrial valve designed to control the flow of fluids within a piping system. It typically has a diameter of 4 inches, which determines its size and capacity for fluid flow. The gate valve operates by raising or lowering a gate (usually made of metal) to either allow or block the flow of fluid through the valve. This type of valve is commonly used in various industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, and more, where precise control over fluid flow is essential.

The Operation Theory of 4 inch Gate Valve
The operation theory of a 4 inch Gate Valve involves a straightforward mechanism. When the handwheel is turned, it raises or lowers the gate inside the valve. This movement controls the flow of fluid through the valve. The gate moves perpendicular to the direction of the flow, allowing for a full seal when closed and unrestricted flow when open. The stem, often equipped with a T-head design like the Barton 200AS, ensures stability and strength during operation. Proper sealing is crucial, and packing materials like those found in the ITT Barton 288C maintain a tight seal to prevent leaks.
